Kids go FREE this September – 5 fun-filled attractions for little historians in York
We’ve introduced a special limited-time offer for families this September – Kids go FREE when accompanied by an adult.
It might be back-to-school season, but there’s still plenty of time to create lasting memories with your little ones on an open-top CitySightseeing York tour bus.
Our 21-stop tour loops around this historic city: Here are some of our favourite places for you and your young historians to visit while this fantastic FREE offer is available.
JORVIK Viking Centre
Standing on the site of a world-famous archaeological dig, JORVIK Viking Centre is a must-visit attraction for families enjoying a morning, afternoon, or day-out in York.
See, hear, and smell your way through the history of Viking York on a ride around the reconstructed city of Jorvik that’s filled with 360-degree views – allowing you to become fully immersed in the Viking Age.
In combination with a state-of-the-art gallery and museum, JORVIK is as fun-filled as it is educational – and getting there on CitySightseeing couldn’t be easier.
Hop off at either Stop 6 ‘The Stonebow’ or Stop 7 ‘Clifford’s Tower’ and it’s a short walk to the centre entrance.
National Railway Museum
From Japanese Bullet Trains to world-famous locomotives like the Mallard, the National Railway Museum is an incredible way to spend a few hours in York.
There’s also a Flying Scotsman VR experience, a Wonderlab gallery, a giant running model railway set, and an entire warehouse of hidden treasures. And the best part, admission is free!
Your CitySightseeing tour bus will drop you off at Stop 20 ‘York Railway Station’, only a few minutes’ walk away from the museum doors.
York’s Chocolate Story
Here at York’s Chocolate Story – see, smell, and TASTE how this incredible city became Britain’s home of chocolate with samples, demonstrations, and an amazing interactive tour.
Learn about the 4000-year history of chocolate, the families who founded York’s chocolate empire, and make your own treats with the help of an expert chocolatier!
And you can get 20% off admission when you show your CitySightseeing ticket – hop off at Stop 6 ‘The Stonebow’ and you’re just a Shamble away.
The Shambles
With its independent shops, bakeries, and sweet shops – all packed tightly along this Diagon Alley-esque street – The Shambles is one of the most distinctive shopping experiences in all of Yorkshire.
It might be rather difficult to resist the chocolate, gift, and artisan shops that line The Shambles. Thankfully, it won’t require a long walk to get to, as your CitySightseeing tour buses deliver you right to the start of The Shambles at Stop 6 ’The Stonebow’.
Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring
Brain-tickling illusions, kaleidoscope craziness; appear as though you are walking up walls and change your perception at The Puzzling World of Professor Kettlestring. For little and big kids alike, this wonderful gallery of illusions is one of York’s best-kept secrets!
And you can get 10% off when you show your CitySightseeing ticket!
Hop off at Stop 6 ‘The Stonebow’ or Stop 7 ‘Clifford’s Tower’ and it’s a short walk to this mind-boggling world.
